Horror movie 'Barbarian' tops slow weekend at box office

LOS ANGELES — The horror film “Barbarian” won the weekend by bringing in $10 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, as the late-summer doldrums at the box office continued.

Director Zach Cregger’s debut from Disney’s DIS 20th Century Studios premiered at San Diego Comic-Con in July and opened Friday on 2,340 screens. “In a weekend where the overall box office is quite low, the top number of $10 million is a really solid number for this marketplace,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. “Horror movies are always an accountant’s dream, and this is why.”

Long-running Hollywood fare, Sony’s SONY “Bullet Train” and Paramount’s PARA “Top Gun: Maverick,” occupied the three and four spots.
